With his Academy Awardshosting gig now complete, James Franco can finally focus on all those other oddball projects he has in the pipeline, like teaching a college course about himself, producing a college musical and developing a “Three’s Company” play and movie. While some may find the Oscar nominee’s recent career choices unusual, they make perfect sense to Aron Ralston, the man Franco portrayed in director Danny Boyle’s “127 Hours.” “He’s so impassioned with his artistry, and the strangeness of all of [the projects] just tells me it’s very authentic to him,” Ralston said. “It’s all very genuine expression. He’s not doing it for attention or acclaim or money or fame. I don’t think at all that it’s some Joaquin Phoenix, like, ‘I’m going to do a story about a hoax of my life as an act of performance.’”
Corey Haim missing from Oscars ‘In Memoriam’ First Corey Haim was left out of the SAG awards’ “In Memoriam” montage, and now he’s been omitted by the Oscars too. During last night’s remembrance reel of movie industry greats who have passed away in the past year, “The Lost Boys” star, who was 38 when he died of pneumonia and a heart condition in March 2010, was missing. As Marquee previously reported, Haim’s pal Corey Feldman was furious that Haim wasn’t included in the SAG awards tribute in January and took the organization to task at the time. “We have become used to not being honored by our peers in the industry,” Feldman said. “I have faith that the Academy will make a wiser choice.”
Charlie Sheen: ‘I’m tired of pretending l’m not special’ Embattled actor Charlie Sheen took to the airwaves and the Internet Monday, claiming he has cured his substance abuse addictions with his mind and alleging that CBS, which suspended production on his sitcom, is trying to take his money and destroy his family. Sheen said he would go back and finish the season of “Two and a Half Men,” which CBS halted last week after Sheen called a radio show. But, he said, because of his psychological distress, he wants $3 million per episode rather than the $2 million he was making. “I’m tired of pretending like I’m not special,” Sheen told NBC. “I’m tired of pretending like I’m not bitching a total freaking rock star from Mars.” He later said he has “tiger blood and Adonis DNA.” At the conclusion of the final interview, given to TMZ. com, Sheen’s publicist, Stan Rosenfield, resigned.

The budget cuts are “cutting deeply,” and the universities are starting to suffer from them, said Jessica Bruning, senior in political science and director of ISU Ambassadors. “In order to make up for the cuts, the university would have to raise tuition almost 30 percent, so they are starting to cut funding from programs and groups,” Bruning said.

this summer getting the college’s budget in line with its resources,” Oliver said. Though he was nominated by other faculty members, Oliver has no interest in the permanent dean position. “My objective [in taking this job] is to minimize the impact of this transition,” Oliver said. The search for a permanent dean will continue, as Hoffman is in the process of selecting members for the search committee. Nominations for members of the committee are currently being submitted by faculty, and two open forums have been held for faculty to provide input on
the selection of a permanent dean. The main thing that faculty want in the new dean is someone who appreciates the breadth of the college and its student programs, Oliver said. Hoffman hopes to name the committee by Spring Break so that it can agree on and produce an ad for the position to get people to apply. Ideally, early in the fall a set of candidates will be named and brought to Des Moines for interviews, Hoffman said. The group will then be narrowed down to three to five people who will be brought to campus for additional interviews.

Borders spokeswoman Mary Davis said the company was not commenting on the possibility of closings beyond those already announced. Davis also said the company planned to enhance its Borders Rewards Plus loyalty program, improve its website and make its supply chain more efficient. She also said the company was weighing the benefits of offering “additional non-book products” in its stores. She declined to

The game, designed for blind athletes, uses the sound of bells inside a ball to allow athletes to navigate on the court and score. Students can wear blindfolds and participate in the game, or just sit back and watch. Best Buddies Iowa State’s Best Buddies program is hosting a “Spread the Word to End the Word” campaign Wednesday at the west booth in the Memorial Union. Best Buddies is a program started by Anthony Kennedy Shriver in 1989 that provides a community for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

“With how close we are to Des Moines, we’re hoping to have more than 100 people going; with all of the clubs participating, I think we will have at least that many,” Bruning said. Many ISU clubs are going to help lobby against the budget cuts. Tables are being provided so that the clubs can display information and show legislators that the money being spent on these clubs isn’t being wasted.
say what specific kinds of new products might be offered. Bedell wonders whether expanded services like those Borders may offer are really what book buyers want. She said changes like the rising popularity of ebooks and the dominance of online booksellers may dictate a different role for all brick-and-mortar bookstores. “I see it as a return to the niche businesses bookstores used to be,” Bedell said. “There may be less demand for giant bookstores.”
Iowa State’s Best Buddy program pairs students with a “buddy” so that they can build relationships. The program also helps people with disabilities gain employment. The “Spread the Word to End the Word” campaign is a movement that asks students to end the use of the R-word. Emily Chambers, president of Iowa State’s Best Buddy program, said she hopes the cam-
paign will help people realize how offensive this word is. “People need to understand how the words they use affect others,” Chambers said. “This word dehumanizes people.” Best Buddies will also be hosting a prom event Saturday at Drake University. The event is for all Best Buddy programs across Central Iowa. A “buddy” and their partner will be crowned prom king and queen

If we can be of an assistance as a citizen, then we want to be.” There are money rewards up to $1,000 that the tip submitter can receive when his or her crime tip is useful. “Upon submitting your tip, you will receive a ‘code’ that becomes your identity so that everyone can remain anonymous,” Sanders said. “If your tip was useful, you will be notified that you can receive your cash reward.” Crime Stoppers USA is a nonprofit organization that is run by people who hope to combat crime in their neighborhoods. “Funding comes from the members donating their money, raising money from the public and sending letters to local businesses explaining what we do,” Sanders said. “We’re hosting a big fundraiser this summer.” Deputy Rob Bowers, ISU Police, has been working with the Crime Stoppers program since last year when he was notified that a private group was interested in reaching out to help. “I think it is a great program to get information that us officers might otherwise not get. It is very community-driven; put together and managed by the community and driven for community safety,” Bowers said. The program is at its very

Editorial
Frank Buckles: Our role model
Frank Woodruff Buckles died Sunday. He was America’s last living survivor of World War I. Born in rural Missouri in 1901, Frank grew up on a farm, worked at a small-town bank and attended high school until he was 16. That summer, he visited five Marines and Navy recruiting offices before fooling Army recruiters in Oklahoma City into believing he was old enough to serve. When asked by the recruiters to see a birth certificate, Frank claimed Missouri hadn’t recorded births when he was born, and that the date would be recorded in the family Bible. Frank quickly joined the Army’s Ambulance Service because, his recruiter said it’d be the fastest way for him to get to France. On his journey across the Atlantic, Frank traveled on the HMS Carpathia, famous for having sailed to the rescue of those aboard the sunken Titanic not five years earlier. Some of the crew were still aboard and shared their stories of the rescue with Frank. He served as an ambulance driver in the United Kingdom and as an escort, later, in France. After the war, he returned to Oklahoma City to work at a post office for a measly $0.60 per hour. While transporting cargo for steamship companies, he was captured by the Japanese in the Phillipines, and was held in Japanese prison camps for three-and-a-half years, during World War II. Until Sunday, he farmed land in California and West Virginia. Why the biographical recounting of one old man’s life? Like so many Americans, Frank Buckles lived a commonly remarkable life that spanned more than a century and, in many ways, embodied the values and ideals so many of us hold to be true. In light of the controversy and stalemates in Legislatures across the country, it seems appropriate to use the occasion of the death of the last Veteran of World War I to pause and to reflect on what we share in common. Because, lately, it seems like the number of reasons to build walls between ourselves has outweighed the number of reasons to cross bridges. It wasn’t more than two months ago the country was astounded by just how much Congress was able to accomplish in the final few weeks of a “lame duck” session, as many in the media called it. Fourteen Wisconsin Senators fled their home state to work out of Indianan hotels more than two weeks ago because they feared the idea of returning to work with their Republican colleagues. In what way is that American? Standing up for your values? Sure. But partisan politics at a time when there’s so much work to be done leaves us feeling sick. Editorial Board

Planned Parenthood
Although Planned Parenthood performs abortions, it also provides cancer screenings, infertility tests and other services. However, the controversy surrounding abortions has overshadowed these efforts. Courtesy photo: Deprogramming Hour/Flickr
Family planning and more By Abigail.Barefoot iowastatedaily.com
Planned Parenthood offers services besides abortions
T
he House of Representatives recently voted to bar Planned Parenthood from federal funding. I am scratching my head wondering how this could happen. I am used to people protesting against Planned Parenthood, but to go as far as defunding them seems a bit outrageous. Yes, they perform abortions, but they do so many other things that deserve funding, and it’s these other things that get overlooked. Among the activities that Planned Parenthood does for low cost to free are breast, prostate, colon and cervical cancer screenings, UTI treatment, jock itch treatment, STI and pregnancy screening. They do male and female infertility testing and refer you to health centers in the area to help you get pregnant. That’s right – HELP you get pregnant. Planned Parenthood means planning both ways. Some do flu vaccines, physical exams and cholesterol checks. But you hardly ever hear about those aspects of what they do. It’s all about the abortions. One of the benefits of Planned Parenthood is its low cost. Some students don’t have insurance, and anyone can tell you that going to the hospital is expensive. Expensive to the point where people won’t go unless they know something is wrong, like their arm is falling off. Planned Parenthood offers health care at a rate you can afford – it’s not always free, but based on what you can pay. A Pap smear without insurance can range from $50 to $200 at a clinic. Without Planned Parenthood, how many students will willingly give their grocery money to get a Pap smear or STI testing? Testing that could help them treat the infections before they lead to more serious issues like infertility or kidney failure – which can happen with gonorrhea – not to mention let them know they have the infection before they spread it to more people unknowingly. Unlike some of the pregnancy crisis centers, which usually only focus on pregnancy,
Planned Parenthood has certified doctors and nurses, people who are trained to deal with the people who walk in their door. More than five million people have walked through their door looking for advice, answers and treatment. Five million men and women every year utilize Planned Parenthood services. Also it is important to note that 79 percent of their clients are older than 20, breaking down the idea that the majority of their clients are teens who grab the condoms and walk out without another word, or go in there using abortions as their birth control. And yes they deal with sex, but it’s just not condoms and birth control. In a country where the predominate form of sex education is abstinence only, but is shown as a fact of life in the teen media, Planned Parenthood is a voice to answer questions no matter how stupid the questions may be. They won’t lie or avoid the questions when you ask them. This is more than my high school health teacher did when my class asked her questions. They are more reliable than some of the websites you can Google for advice, and without the snarky answer either. More than one million students receive education programs through Planned Parenthood, education they might not get at home or from their friends. 83 percent of Planned Parenthood’s centers focus on stopping pregnancy before it happens, with condoms and knowledge. Only three percent is abortion-based, and not all centers even perform abortions. Not only that, they offer safe sex advice to gays and lesbians, which goes beyond a lot of health advice in schools, who seem to believe sex can only happen with a penis. It could be hard for a parent to have the sex talk with their gay or lesbian child if they don’t even know how to have safe sex if it isn’t heterosexual. Or maybe these teens haven’t told their parents yet that they are gay. They can go to Planned Parenthood for advice on dental dams or other protection. But of course, many people against Planned Parenthood are also against homosexuals, so maybe that is just another reason to defund them.
Yes, many people against Planned Parenthood say if we take away sex, we will stop unwanted pregnancies, STIs and abortions. Logic tells me that hasn’t worked in the past, and it sure as heck won’t help us now. Teen have always had sex, and they will continue to have it, might as well give them the education and the tools to do it safely. Besides, giving them the knowledge doesn’t mean as soon as they walk out of the classroom they are going to go home and have sex. If we ignore the fact that teens have sex, or tell them it is a sin if they do it before marriage, I doubt teens will magically decide not have sex. Not everyone believes sex outside of marriage is a bad thing, or adheres to programs that follow religious backing for abstinence only. Without Planned Parenthood, teens will still do it, but will they have the information to do it correctly? By defunding the health centers, I am betting that STI rates and pregnancy will go up. Not that that is saying much, considering the United States has the highest teen pregnancy rates among the world’s developed nations. Or the fact that according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 3 million teen girls have a sexually transmitted infection. Without funding to birth control, aren’t teen pregnancy and abortion rates going to go up? And isn’t that exactly what defunding Planned Parenthood was supposed to do – make the rates go down? Yes, some argue that because they perform abortions, all the other good things like education and testing should be looked over. Do we do that to hospitals? Hospitals perform abortions too, but we never seem to talk about that. Do we say they are horrible people even though they perform vasectomies or pull the plug on coma patients, or do we understand that they are helping people, even though we don’t always agree with their decisions? One in five women will use Planned Parenthood in their life. I stand for Planned Parenthood because I know that all of their services are important, even the ones people ignore.

Obama, House cut F35 funding
By Molly.Sturgis iowastatedaily.com
Too close for missles, we’re switching to guns
I
think as children many of us go through a phase where we want to be a fighter pilot. I was no different, with pictures of fighter jets all over my room and pretending I was flying through my house. Fast forward to second semester sophomore year. I’ve managed to get myself hired by Rolls-Royce, — airplane engine makers, not the cars — as a cooperative student. Instead of grabbing coffee, they put me to work in the assembly, instrumentation and test group for the F136. If you’re like most people, you don’t know what that means. The F136, is one of two jet engines being built and tested for the new generation of fighter jets. It’s a plane designed to be sort of the “Jack-of-all-Trades” of fighter planes. Seen the newest “Die Hard” movie? That. There they taught me what it
means to be a working, experimental engineer. That theory is theoretical, what can go wrong likely will, and how to solve actual real-world problems no one else ever has in the most efficient, cheapest and safest way possible. And when in doubt, use common sense and your instincts. Fast forward to last week when the new government budget was announced to Congress for approval when President Obama decided to take a stand against the F136 by cutting its funding. The House has agreed with them, and the only thing now in the way of the death of the program is the Senate. To speak plainly, this decision is a mistake. This is true for many reasons. This leaves the F-35, the fighter jet meant to replace many others for at least the next 35 years, with only one engine. What if there’s a flaw in that one engine? We’d be up a creek without a paddle. Additionally, cutting the F136 would be effectively handing Pratt & Whitney a monopoly on fighter jet engines. Competition
between engines has proven to decrease prices, increase quality and improve maintenance. This is a classic case of spend $5 now to save $10 later. Some people don’t want to spend the money now because they’re too short sighted to see ultimately it’ll save everybody money. Don’t believe me? The Government Accountability Office agrees and has been quoted saying the F136 could save taxpayers upward of $20 billion. Secondly, the engine is just plain awesome! Start out with a reported 56,000 pounds of thrust. That’s enough to hold more than seven full-grown bull African elephants off the ground against the pull of the Earth’s gravity. Now with the current airframe of the F-35 it is unlikely the engine will be able to suck in enough air to reach that number. However, it still means that the engine will never be “working hard” and should lead to longer engine life. This engine was built from scratch by two different companies working together. Nobody builds engines from scratch any-
more. They go and pick out an old one and refurbish it. That fact has allowed the F136 team to make innovations and improvements across the board. One example is the extended use of Lamilloy, a metal treated in a very distinct way to increase its resistance to high temperatures. This is good because inside an engine the temperatures can reach higher than 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit if the metal can withstand that. All of this equates to one thing – awesomeness. And awesomeness is great. It inspires people to do bigger, better, more innovative and yet more awesome things. It gives people hopes and dreams and pushes them to do their best. Achieving awesome things makes awesome people, with high satisfaction in their lives and pride in their work. Then those awesome people inspire others to be awesome as well and the cycle continues. Decreasing the bad things in life is very important, but perhaps we should spend more time increasing the awesome things.

Solace can be found in solitude
By Sean.Flack iowastatedaily.com
M
family, and then we leave the house to make friends, and then we come back home to our family. Constant people. I’ve always been someone with hobbies that didn’t require another person, and I grew up an only child, so enjoying solitude was an easy transition for me. This isn’t the case for most people. Secondly, it’s this idea of life that has been spoon fed to us our entire lives by movies, TV shows and advertisements — this idea that you can’t be happy unless you’re with other people. Can you think of one ďŹ lm where the protagonist is truly happy by themselves? Or a romantic comedy where the lead female realizes that she doesn’t need men and is free to live her life? Nope, it’s characters needing other people in order to be happy. I’m not saying to go live in a cave somewhere, I’m just saying that society should accept solitude more than
it does. What’s so weird about a guy seeing a movie by himself? Or eating by himself? It’s not as if you’re talking throughout an entire movie, you’re supposed to be quiet and watch it. And hey, maybe some people aren’t into spending tons of money on alcohol every weekend. Maybe they’d just like to cozy up with a bag of popcorn and a Netix movie. These are stressful times. Whether we like it or not, a break every now and then is essential to our sanity. And it can be hard to get that peace when you have some guy from high school messaging you on Facebook chat or your roommate practicing his trumpet in the other room. Just trust me. Alone time is nice. Grab a newspaper, a book, your laptop, whatever, and get lunch by yourself sometime. It’s a nice break from the day, and you’ll realize it’s not as weird as you think.

Campus pedestrian safety concerns us all This fall an ISU student, Jonathan Brown, was hit by a car while walking back to his vehicle after a football game. Jonathan died from of his injuries. While crossing South 16th Street, Jonathan was hit when he entered the westbound lane. Derek Haskin was never charged because people were crossing illegally. His death swept through campus, deadening the joy of the Cyclone victory that weekend. These types of accidents happen too often, affecting the family of the victims and the drivers involved. Many students have not learned from the horriďŹ c accident that happened to Jonathan, continuing to cross streets around campus illegally and dangerously. Obviously Jonathan’s death affected his family, something many students may not be thinking of. The toll Jonathan’s death had is apparent in the Iowa State Daily article “Jonathan Brown Rememberedâ€? by Kaitlin York. In the article, Jonathan’s father, Phillip, says “he’s had no worse feeling than emptying out [Jonathan’s] room.â€? One can only imagine the pain his father was feeling as he packed his son’s belongings. Jonathan had four siblings as well that will no longer feel his presence. Pedestrians of Iowa State need to realize that they
Michael Butler is a junior in Industrial Technology are not just putting their lives in the balance but the wellbeing of their family. Their feelings and happiness need to be considered before crossing the street dangerously. The driver that hit Jonathan, Derek Haskin, was deeply impacted by the accident. Ms. York wrote another article in the Daily from his perspective entitled “Derek Haskin shares aftermath experience after hitting Jonathan Brown with vehicle.� Derek hit Jonathan while swerving to miss pedestrians crossing illegally. Derek said he went home and cried that night. Three days after the accident Derek found out he had hit an ISU student and “killed� him. The family set up a blog about Jonathan’s condition that Derek followed. Derek describes his life after Jonathan’s death as “a question mark.� He has spent nights pacing his apartment and, at the time the article was written, had not returned to class, worrying what his peers think of him. Derek is having trouble sleeping and eating. His life is in shambles. The worst part is Derek is innocent. He was obeying the law. It is simply
his poor luck that brought him to this horrible situation. This situation shows a jaywalker’s mistake will not only ruin their life but the life of the person that hits them. They are the epicenter of the ripple that will ensue because of an instant of crude decision making. Situations like this happen much more often than they need to. According to data compiled by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 842 people died in “improper crossing of intersections,� the leading cause of pedestrian death. Other relevant ways the pedestrians die are the failure to yield to the right of way (662), darting into the road (469), inattentive and failure to yield to traffic signals (63). Overall 4092 pedestrians died in 2009 due to their actions. Three thousand of those deaths happened outside of an intersection, showing people
need to cross at intersections where drivers are expecting them. Crossing the road can be deadly, which is why it is important to cross in safe manners and at intersections when it is appropriate. There are many arguments as to why one would not cross properly. A common reason is pedestrians always have the right of way. Legally, this is true, but the laws of physics are not governed by society. You will be the one that ultimately pays for your mistake. Another argument is it saves time by not waiting for the crossing signal. Around campus the lights turn readily while pedestrians are waiting. At most, you may be saving two minutes, and if you get hit, you will be out for life. One could also argue you can cross when there are no cars. Scenario: It is dark out and a driver forgets to turn on his headlights. He comes over a hill seeing a green light, un-
aware of the person trying to cross and hits the pedestrian. You can never know there is not a car. You could also slip on your way across. A car comes along oblivious to your situation and runs you over. There is no good reason for crossing illegally; you will be putting yourself in needless peril. We have all seen people crossing Lincoln Way when cars are only a block away, then standing on the median begging for a distracted driver to jump the curb and end their life. Or being thrown forward because someone darts in front of the bus trying to get to class on time. We are all working too hard to take such chances with our lives. Think of your families, friends and the poor person whose life will be forever changed after they were unlucky enough to kill you on their way to class. Remember Jonathan. Remember you. Make good decisions and cross safely.

GOING HOME? SO ARE WE.
We’re bombarded every second of our lives with human interaction. If it’s not in class or our apartment, it’s through Facebook or our phones. While this might seem like a nice security blanket for some, it just seems overwhelming to me. People pecking at you wondering what you’re doing, how’s your day, etc. I’m a big fan of taking a moment and living on the outskirts of society. It gives you time for self-reection, to think and to — most importantly — relax. But this seems to scare people or weird them out. Is it in our wiring that we just crave human interaction? This goes beyond just being comfortable eating at Olde Main by yourself. Every day people stay in unsatisfying relationships just so they’re not single. I’d say ďŹ rst off it’s because we’ve never really learned how to be alone. Since birth, we’re brought up by our

y mom is a social buttery. And for most of my life, I inherited that trait from her. I loved going out and doing things. I would go to a party at someone’s house who I didn’t know that well just because it was a party. I needed people by me. But then I lived by myself for the ďŹ rst time. It was a single dorm over at Wallace-Wilson. It was quiet. No one bothered you or tried to be social. I was by myself. And I loved it. Doing anything by yourself has such a negative reputation in our society. I get weird looks from people when I tell them I go out to dinner by myself, or see a movie by myself or am spending Saturday night by myself. But me time is important. Not everyone has to take it to such an extreme like I do, but I think some alone time would make everyone happier.

Bolte ends Hilton career Iowa State hosts Jayhawks for home finale Tuesday By Dan.Tracy iowastatedaily.com Tuesday night, for the 67th time in her career as a Cyclone, senior guard Kelsey Bolte will walk out onto the floor at Hilton Coliseum and prepare to play a regular season game in front of a home Bolte crowd filled with fans donning her No. 11 jersey. “I can’t really believe that it’s already going to be senior night and the last time I’ll play in Hilton,” Bolte said. “I’m just going to try and enjoy it and go out with a bang I guess,” she said. The seventh all-time leading scorer at Iowa State and only senior on this season’s squad, Bolte has taken a heavy load this season as the leading scorer on the court and as the leader of this Cyclones’ team off the court. “The impact she’s made on our university has been dramatic,” said ISU coach Bill Fennelly. “She’s a walking, talking example of what it means to be an ISU student-athlete,” Fennelly said. Not only will it be the last home game of Bolte’s career, but it will also be the final home matchup for the Cyclones this season as they play host to the Kansas Jayhawks. Both the Cyclones (20-8, 8-6 Big 12) and the Jayhawks (19-9, 6-8 Big 12) enter Tuesday’s matchup on three-game winning streaks. The Jayhawks, who defeated Iowa State in overtime 86-85 on Feb. 9, have been led this season by sophomore forward Carolyn Davis, who is third in the Big 12 in scoring at 19 points per game. Davis is coming off a career-high in points with 36 in the Jayhawks’ 77-61 victory over Nebraska on Saturday. “She’s very physical,” said sophomore forward Chelsea Poppens. “It’s just kind of fun playing against someone like that; it pushes you to compete more and step up your game, especially in the Big 12,” Poppens said. Another thorn in the side of the Cyclones the last time they squared off was 5-foot-4-inch sophomore guard Angel Goodrich, the Big 12 leader in assists, who dished out 15 assists in the win. Fennelly compared the duo of Goodrich and Davis to that of the former Utah Jazz tandem of John Stockton and Karl Malone. “We better guard better, we’ve been a decent defensive team, we didn’t guard anyone

Season draws to conclusion By Jeremiah.Davis iowastatedaily.com
Rebuilding year heightens next season’s expectations Over the history of ISU athletics, fans have hung their hats on a few things that Cyclone programs have done well. Hilton Magic for men’s basketball was and remains a point of pride for any ISU fan, student or alumni, and there was always Seneca Wallace and Troy Davis to be proud of for football. But undoubtedly, the most successful sport in ISU history has been wrestling. Eight national championship banners, the last coming in 1987, are hanging in Hilton, as are those for the Olympic gold medalists that wrestled at Iowa State. Two of those men also happen to be the previous and current coach of the Cyclones. Cael Sanderson, the only person to go undefeated throughout his career, and now, Kevin Jackson have tried their best to continue the tradition. Sanderson brought the Cyclones to the brink of a national championship a few times, but never could get past the three-headed monster of the Brands brothers and Dan Gable in Iowa City. When he left for Penn State, Jackson stepped in, and nearly got it done himself. But while Jackson took the team places last year, this season has been a struggle for the Olympic champion and his staff. For the first time since 2003, the Cyclones will end the season with a losing record in dual meets. They went 9-10 overall and didn’t win a single Big 12 dual. So the sky is falling on ISU wrestling, right? Jackson can’t coach and without Sanderson the wrestling program is doomed. Think again. The 2010-’11 season was a transition year for the Cyclones. While Jackson had mostly Sanderson-recruited wrestlers on his squad last season, he’s brought in his own group for the future. There are 14 true freshman on the roster this season and four redshirt freshman. That means that 18 of the 32 wrestlers currently on the roster have three years of eligibility left after this season. Three years for Jackson and his staff to develop and shape the young men into what they think the kids can be. Three years to begin building back toward the days of Harold Nichols and those national championship banners. For now, not all is lost either. The Cyclones get to host the Big 12 Tournament on Saturday and while they did fail to win a dual meet against a Big 12 foe, don’t underestimate the home-mat advantage. Pride will come into play Saturday in Hilton. Wrestlers like redshirt seniors Jon Reader and Nate Carr Jr. will be wrestling in their final Big 12 Tournament. Their teammates don’t want to send them away disappointed. “I’m confident that our guys will wrestle as well as they’ve wrestled all year long,” Jackson said in his news conference Monday. There’s also major uncertainty for the Big 12 as a wrestling conference as well. With Nebraska’s departure, there may not even be a Big 12 wrestling conference in the future. If the Cyclones can perform well at the Big 12 Tournament, they can send several wrestlers to the national tournament in Philadelphia with high placements. With a team victory unlikely, Jackson and the wrestler’s focus will simply be getting the best results they possibly can. And Jackson believes his team will be ready for Saturday. “In wrestling I shouldn’t have to keep anybody hungry,” Jackson said. “That’s what we do. We go out and wrestle and compete. The best athletes keep themselves hungry.”

that night,” Fennelly said of the first matchup against Kansas. “They scored 86 points, I thought we were playing the men’s team for a while, the way they were scoring on us,” Fennelly said. With Big 12 conference play winding down, tonight’s matchup will also factor in to the seeding of next week’s Big 12 Tournament. Only three games separate the teams placed third through eighth in the conference, with Iowa State sitting in fourth and Kansas in seventh.

Cyclones move past falls By Dylan.Montz iowastatedaily.com Despite the season-high road score earned by the No.19 ISU gymnasts, it was still not enough to defeat rival No. 16 Iowa, as the Cyclones fell 195.200-195.450. Iowa State (7-4-1, 1-2 Big 12) was “surprisingly solid” in the vault, floor and bars events, ISU coach Jay Ronayne said, but balance beam proved to be problematic for the Cyclones as the team had to count a fall in that event. Freshman Michelle Shealy was the last Cyclone to compete in the beam and fell in her routine, forcing the team to count a fall made earlier in the competition. According to Ronayne, the fall by Shealy may have been due to some lingering pain in her ankle as she had twisted it while warming up for the vault competition. With Shealy forced out of the vault lineup, freshman Hailey Johnson quickly substituted for her, scoring a 9.650. Shealy also missed the floor competition, which allowed freshman Henrietta Green to be put into the lineup for the first time this season. The San Bernardino, Calif. native scored a 9.075, and had a fall in her first event. Ronayne was pleased with how Green was able to put forth the kind of effort she did to try to help her team win.

“She has now had some experience in an actual competition, and we fully expect her to perform next time without falling,” Ronayne said. The Cyclones proved to be tough competition for the Hawkeyes in the vault competition as ISU junior Michelle Browning took home the title, scoring a 9.825. Also stepping up for the Cyclones was freshman Camille Santerre-Gervais on the bars. The St. Lazare, Quebec native won the event, tying a career high of 9.900. “I was really happy because I stuck my dismount, and this was the second meet that I did my double layout, so it was a good moment,” Santerre-Gervais said. “I just did what I do in the gym and it works.” Iowa State will now look to move past its struggle with falling on the beam and continue to improve in the other three events. The biggest goal for the team right now is to find confidence in itself and that, they say, will be their goal for the next competition. “We are doing so great in the gym and we are building our confidence, but now we should just show that in the meets,” SanterreGervais said. The next competition for Iowa State is a rematch against No. 20 Minnesota on the Cyclones’ senior night. The dual is slated to begin at 7 p.m. Friday.

Senior captain bids emotional farewell in ďŹ nale By Dan.Kassan iowastatedaily.com
that I’m able to lace up the skates for a couple last games, and you know, try to cherish it as much as I can,â€? Bulloch said. The senior captain and his four senior teammates received recognition during the ďŹ rst intermission break Friday night during the Cyclones’ 9-0 romp over the Panthers. One of Bulloch’s goals on the ice was tallying 100 career points. On Friday night, he reached that plateau, joining senior Mike Lebler in milestone achievements this semester. But for Bulloch, knowing this is the end of the road after a tenured career at Iowa State was tough to handle. “It hasn’t really sunk into me yet,â€? Bulloch said. “I feel like my whole career ashed before my eyes standing there for the national anthem.â€?
It’s been an up-and-down four years at Iowa State for senior forward Cort Bulloch. Since the Fort Wayne, Ind. native arrived on the scene here in Ames, he has seen the Cyclones (24-17-0) go to the national tournament every year, including last year’s magical run to the ďŹ nals. But this year, he has seen his team come up short multiple times and fail to make it to nationals. So when he donned his No. 8 sweater Friday night, Bulloch still couldn’t realize this series against Northern Iowa was his last. “For me, I was kinda soaking it all in, taking it for what it is and be happy
Bulloch scored one goal and assisted on three goals for his senior linemates Jordan Pascale and Matt Cohn, who registered his third hat trick of the season. “I thought [Bulloch] played pretty solid, considering he had a partially separated shoulder in the Central States [Collegiate Hockey League] tournament,â€? Murdoch said. “He didn’t miss a shift and wasn’t about to miss a shift tonight.â€? Bulloch has been the literal poster boy for Iowa State all year, and reected on what it meant to have that designation. “It’s been such a huge honor,â€? Bulloch said. “I’m thankful for every day that I get to put on the jersey. Being a leader is something special to me.â€?

Harris, Nelson lead Iowa State Loy’s 4th-place ďŹ nish highlights conference meet at Big 12 Championship meet By Kevin.Shay iowastatedaily.com The ISU men were disappointed at practice Monday after a poor performance at the Big 12 Indoor Championships this past weekend. Iowa State ďŹ nished in 10th place with a total of 24 points, 110 behind champion Texas A&M. Coach Corey Ihmels thought the team could have done better. “We left a lot of points on the track,â€? Ihmels said. “I felt like we could have gotten to 50 [points], which would have gotten us to seventh-place, and that’s where we ďŹ nished last year. But, we fought hard and we had three guys who ďŹ nished ninth and just missed qualifying for the ďŹ nals, but those are ďŹ nals you need to make in the conference meet. “ Sprinter Ian Warner ďŹ nished a disappointing ninth in the 60-meter dash with a time of 6.75, while Amara Sama came in 12th. However, that was an improvement from last year after they ďŹ nished in the bottom two spots of the meet for the Cyclones.
Elphas Sang came in ninth in the 800-meter run, and David Lantz just missed advancing to the ďŹ nals in the 1,000-meter run. One runner that did advance in two events was German sophomore Rico Loy. Loy placed fourth in the 1,000-meter run, and 23rd in the 3,000-meter run. But, Loy said he was not in top form due to a sore Achilles he’s had the past week, and that running in two events was a little more difficult than focusing on one. “I was happy with the fourth-placed ďŹ nish but deďŹ nitely feel I could have done better in both events,â€? Loy said. “In the end of the 3K I just got so tired. And for sure running two events made me more tired, but I want to help my team as much as I can.â€? ™
By Nate.Ryan iowastatedaily.com The ISU swimming and diving team ďŹ nished sixth at the Big 12 Championships Feb. 2326 and the team had consistent efforts from a couple of key contributors to its ďŹ nal result. Dani Harris led the swimming side for the Cyclones. Harris would contribute to 67 of the team’s 176 points. “She was just consistent in all her events,â€? said coach Duane Sorenson. Harris would ďŹ nish a little faster in each of her individual events in the ďŹ nals. Sorenson said the coaches talked with Harris about making small corrections before each ďŹ nal swim.

team ďŹ nish was result of lacking that outstanding swimmer that the team has had in the past. Last year that role was held by seniors Nan Liu and Abby Glaser. Sorenson believes that Harris can step into that role. “Dani is right on the cusp of becoming a championship level swimmer,â€? Sorenson said. “She just needs to clean up a lot of little mistakes that she makes.â€? Harris ďŹ nished the 200 backstroke with a time of 1:57.53 earning her 12th place in the event and ďŹ ve points for the team. The ďŹ nish was just eight one-hundredths from being the new school record in the event. “It was really frustrating to be that close,â€? Harris said.

Midterm madness: indulge or avoid?
With midterms just around the corner, many ISU students are finding themselves stressing out about studying for upcoming exams. As most people know, taking frequent study breaks, getting an adequate amount of sleep and eating nutritious foods will help decrease stress levels and can potentially improve academic performance. But there are some foods that are best to avoid and others that are good to indulge in: Indulge in:
• Protein-rich foods: such as eggs, skim milk, nuts, fat-free yogurt, protein bars, etc. Protein is a great source of energy that will help regulate the release of stress hormones. • Nuts: A wide variety of nuts such as walnuts, almonds, cashews, pecans and peanuts not only provide necessary energy to fuel your studying, but are a simple, snackable food. Try creating your own trail mix using various dried fruits, nuts and cereal, or just pop them into your mouth throughout the day. • Fruit: Another source of brain-
boosting energy, fruits contain natural sugars that the human body breaks down to keep body and mind alert and focused. Blueberries, the ultimate memory food, are packed with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. Choose fruits that are brightly colored and are either fresh or frozen. • Veggies: The darker the color, the greater the nutrient concentration. Try eating a spinach salad for lunch or a baked sweet potato with cinnamon for dinner. How about munching on carrot and celery sticks with fat-free ranch dressing? Even frozen mixed vegetables are a delicious choice. Loaded with phytochemicals, antioxidants and essential vitamins/minerals, vegetables are a great complement to your meal. • Water: Drink multiple glasses of water throughout the day in order to stay hydrated. Without sufficient water in the body, you may find yourself losing focus or feeling • slightly sick during a big exam. Avoid:
• Coffee and Energy Drinks: Although these beverages may provide a sugar rush and instant energy, too much caffeine can

cause headaches and will eventually lead to a crash. Since you may already be nervous, caffeine will only add to you being jittery and unable to concentrate. Alcohol: Excessive alcohol consumption will lead to fatigue, headaches and nausea. Don’t be the person who misses a midterm due to a hangover. • Junk food: Be sure to limit or eliminate fast food, potato chips, candy, pop, bakery items, pizza,
etc. These foods and beverages are high in “empty” calories and provide you with little to no energy. Along with healthy eating, make sure to keeps meals light, snack frequently throughout the day, eat a nutritious breakfast and engage in exercise. The combination of these factors will help you to stay refreshed and focused for midterm exams.

low-fat option, containing a 15 percent daily value of iron. A lack of iron can lead to anemia, causing exhaustion. • Unsalted trail mix: high in potassium and good fats, which can help to improve your cholesterol. • Milk: the protein and calcium will do more for your body than any soda can, and you won’t get a sugar crash later.
By Caitlyn Diimig AmesEats Flavors Writer
An empty stomach can leave a brain hungry. If you’re on campus and need a snack while studying, ISU Dining has got your rumbling stomach taken care of. There are a variety of places to get a healthy snack on campus including: Parks Library, the Hub, Hawthorn Market and Courtyard Cafe.
Beware of these snacks – they may be delicious, but they’re nutrient deficient:
For healthy options try:
• Hard-boiled eggs: just two of them pack 8 grams of protein, leaving you full. • Parfait: the combination of fruit and yogurt provides only 4 grams of fat and a 20 percent daily value of calcium. • Oatmeal: the high soluble fiber content will keep you feeling full. • Raisins: loaded with potassium, which will decrease your blood pressure from all the stress of midterms. • Cheese cup: gives you half your daily value of calcium. • Couscous salad: contains 3 grams of fiber and 6 grams of protein, helping you stay full while studying the night away. • Spinach tortilla wrap: if you’re studying over dinner time, try this
• Cinnamon roll: contains more than 300 calories and 36 grams of sugar, spiking your blood sugar and leaving you hungry. • Chips: a 1-ounce bag of potato chips contains 13 percent of the daily value of fat with 10 grams. • Chocolate chip cookie: it’s tempting, but just one 2-ounce cookie contains 6 grams of saturated fat, which is two-thirds of the daily value. • Soda: loaded with sugars that will only make you feel energized for a little bit before sugar crashing right into a nap.
